Corynebacterium vitaeruminis DSM 20294

Corynebacterium vitaeruminis DSM 20294 is a microaerophilic bacterium, which indicates that it thrives in environments with lower levels of oxygen than are present in the atmosphere. This organism exhibits optimal growth at a temperature of 29°C, situating it within the mesophilic range, which is typically between 20°C and 45°C. Corynebacterium vitaeruminis has a single replicon, as indicated by its genetic structure. The associated accession number for its genomic data is NZ_CP004353.1, which provides a reference for further genetic and biochemical studies. The microaerophilic nature of Corynebacterium vitaeruminis suggests it may play a role in specific ecological niches where oxygen concentration is limited, such as in certain soil types or within the gastrointestinal tracts of animals. This adaptation could enable it to engage in unique metabolic processes or interactions with other microorganisms in these environments. Understanding the growth conditions and genetic characteristics of Corynebacterium vitaeruminis can provide insights into its ecological role and potential applications in biotechnology or environmental microbiology.
